What would give the highest Regen?

Basicly i'm wanting to build a scrapper whos sole power is insanely increased metabolism, giving near umlimited health and endurance....now I know the 2 front runners here are Regen and Willpower, but was wondering which one would be better?

They both have Fast Healing, Health and will be taking Physical Perfection....so to me its really down to Intergration or Rise to the Challenge (not including Instant Healing as wanna see whats better without without extra clickies). Would a slotted Intergration be better than a slotted RttC surrounded by 10 minions, or vice versa?

Also to me, Willpower seems to have more versatility when it comes too IO sets...possibly leading to +regen set bonuses.

The answer isn't simple, unless you force it to be. Is "increased metabolism" only going to be manifest as +Regen percentages, or is it best expressed in HP/second? Can outright heals be considered? Does it have to be "on" at its max value all the time?

We should point out that +Regen is one of the smallest returns on investment in terms of how to make either Regen or WP characters tougher. You may not care about that if your goal is primarily concept driven. However, because both sets already regain HP so fast, +Regen bonuses add less additional benefit compared to the existing capabilities than, say, +Defense.

If your concept is that the character just has mad regenerative abilities that don't really spike or waver (but maybe do rise in combat), then WP is probably the better fit. If your concept is that they have somewhat mad regen that they can spike crazy higher on demand, then Regen sounds better.

Saturdated RttC out performs integration significantly.


RttC base is 100% + 25% per foe in range (350% when saturated, 680% is with 3 SO)
Integtration is 100% + 50%(ingnores enhancements/buffs) giving 245% with 3 SO slotting

However, the strength of regen set overall comes from the click powers.
If you only care about the passive +regen then an often saturated willpower is better no question.

If you're lukewarm on 'clickies' then WP is your choice. It has a reputation as being more of a set-it-and-forget-it set than Regen is.

Was looking more towards a constant stream of HP, rather than all of a sudden giving a boost to HP.....so looks like its gunna be Willpower, which was my first choice anyway.

Cheers.

Rttc fully capped will not out perform a regen with Instant healing on. Bah I don't feel like digging the numbers up but on my regen I could and I emphasize could because it was stupid to put all those regen bonuses in at one point. With IH Int, perma dull pain and whatever, that can easily hit 180 hp a sec regen, now thats not perma, but neither is always having a group around you for RTTC. Nonetheless, some things to think about when you are building both toons.

I'd also like to note that it's not hard to get perma-Dull Pain if you decide to go regen.

A word of caution... with only regeneration as your mitigation, you are unkillable as long as the incoming damage is less then your regeneration... after that, you die every time. Solo, you can pretty much stay in the 'unkillable' mode all the way to 50. But on teams, you'll freqently face larger spawns that will just kill you if you don't have help from buffers/tanks/controller, etc. This is fine, since on teams you do have that help... however, many scrappers that rely on other forms of mitigation are able to 'go in first' vs a spawn and survive easily until their team gets there. You, however, may not be able to do that with this plan.
